One reason many are pro-death penalty but anti-abortion is that they see a murderer being put to death for murder as a form of bringing justice. The murderer isn't killed to
'just' punish him but to punish him and to serve justice. On the other hand, aborting a baby has nothing to do with justice. They baby did nothing to deserve death whereas the murderer did.
There's nothing hypocritical about that, the two cases just aren't the same.
